User manual - list of command line arguments

Hi,

I'm looking for a user manual of some sort but I can't find find anything, looking through the website and the program itself - maybe not looking close enough...

I'm trying to find out if there are any command line arguments. It seems that HxD can accept one or more filenames and will open these as separate tabs. What I'd like to do is to compare the two files (Analysis, Data comparison, Compare). I'm planning on integrating this from a version control system to easily compare between two versions of a file (the VCS will check out each version of the file to %TEMP% and can call an external application with these two files and optionally some argument(s)).

Kind regards,
Daniel

Aside from some internally used command line parameters for dealing with elevation prompts, there are currently no special command line options.

The only currently public option is /readonly, which will make HxD open the files passed per command line as readonly.
